I think someone made a good point before, I dont know if it was on here or somewhere else. But sometimes the coaches might ask them to be silent commits so it doesnt scare off other recruits. If a recruit who wants to play early hears that they have another commit at their position they might shut the door on the immediatley instead of giving them a chance and forming bonds and relationships with the coaches, players and current commits.

We have several high rated O lineman. If the staff were concerned about top talent scaring off other commits, then it stands to reason they would've had these guys commit quietly. As is the case, they didn't do that.

I'm also unaware of them ever doing this in the past.

It's a possibility i suppose, but based on the staff's history it doesn't seem very likely to me.

I'm not so sure...being a juco means he'd probably play right away...a freshmen recruit coming in hoping to play right away could see that hope go away and he'd have to redshirt. Not that that's a bad thing, but a possibility to think about.

i agree the logic is valid. it doesn't seem like our staff looks at in this way, based on similar past situations.

They already have two running backs in this class including the number four running back in the nation. They wont take him either way. They're done with running backs.

 
I'm starting to get to the point where I'll be more surprised if Nebraska doesn't pick up Thompson, more than if they do.

And OKC, you are officially dead to me now. :P
